In a statement made on his social media account, Yücel reacted to the expressions used by Çelik regarding CHP Chairman Özgür Özel.
Deniz Yücel criticized Çelik's approach to politics and political parties, stating, "Engaging in political engineering, forcing mayors to resign from their parties through threats and blackmail, and normalizing betrayal in politics is not considered 'poisoning politics,' but criticizing these ugly steps is considered political aggression, is that it?"
Yücel said the following:
"Ömer Çelik, who attempts to lecture our Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel on decency! Engaging in political engineering, forcing mayors to resign from their parties through threats and blackmail, and normalizing betrayal in politics is not considered 'poisoning politics,' but criticizing these ugly steps is considered political aggression, is that it!
For years you said about the CHP, 'They cannot go beyond Sivas,' and now you have become a party that cannot go west of Ankara. The CHP is now in every city, every square, and every corner of Turkey... The Erdoğan government, which cannot leave its air-conditioned halls, can no longer even reach the Aegean. When they cannot win the hearts of the nation, they resort to stealing the national will...
They think they can silence our Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel, who reacts to this, with investigations... Erdoğan and his cronies, who insult the CHP, CHP members, and CHP voters every time they take the podium, are trying to lecture us on decency. You will know your place! You will think five times before taking the name of the leader of Turkey's leading party into your mouth! If you have the courage, bring the ballot box and see how you measure up!"
